Very nice!
Looks like a perfect blend of Xmod and miniZ MA010.
I just have one question, and this might seem stupid to ask but, why is it named after Bob Saget?
Are you Full House's "Danny Tanner" A.K.A. Bob Saget? lol

Anyways, that is great work. I like Xmods and MiniZ's but the main things the MA010 always had over the Xmod was a weight advantage, and the ability to adjust camber(besides electronics). It seems like you solved both of those issues.
Do you know how much your chassis weighs?(minus the batteries and body)

Its a joke.. The members here wanted me to call it the Bob Saget...LOL. I think the MA010 has a lot more then that over an Xmod, but this does even it out a bit between the two.. Although the MA010 is still far superior over any kind of Xmod, regardless. Im glad you like... this is by far the smoothest riding Xmod I have ever built.. I just love it, and have been strictly driving this Xmod around the track over my Mini-Zs at the moment....but Im sure ill go back soon..LOL.

Here is a little bit of the work on Brettley's

I've been knocking around with my Zmods more than my MA010 lately but your right, MiniZ's will always be better, but it looks like you took the Xmod chassis a giant step forward.

xm, the regular tierod actually doesn't quite fit. The CAD drawings are in the process of being finished and added to the kit. Hopefully later this week they will be done. If not, i think tripleX might make them out of styrene or something similar until we do get it finished.

so you're CAD-ing a new tierod? have you thought of a 2-piece tierod plate that fits in the stock tierod's underside grooves and CA's in place?

Like Brettley said, the tierod is about 1mm out on each side.. for these two rides I had to custom make tierods and they aren't very strong but with easy track and house riding they are fine for now. Brett is currently doing the CAD for a copy tierod that has the right dimensions to fit the MA010 knuckles.. it is one of a few additions and changes we had to make after test fitting the prototypes. Also the front underside plate will be lengthened a bit on the rear side to act as a cover over the tierod and the stock screwone can be ditched. (I haven't told Brett yet...lol)
